Fun with Dictionaries and Thesauruses.

Type your pets name in and then click on the audio button so that the computer calls your pets name out loud. This is a happy memory of our dog Honey.
I also tried, I have to confess, typing in the odd profanity so my wife would be annoyed. But it wasn't me saying it, was it?

Fun with guns. Yes. This is some people's definition of fun..(?) Watch with caution.

Perhaps when the accident happens during such frivolity and jollity, the smack up the chops and painful injury that occurs is appropriate Karma.
No wonder people are killed. And it so often happens with "unloaded / empty" firearms.

Fun with questions & facts before Google

And last but not least...

Fun with tiny houses.
If you don't have time to watch the other videos, do yourself a favour and watch this one right through to the end.
This guy, Derek Diedricksen is just so awesome, and the world needs more people like him. I'm thinking, no wonder he was asked to speak to a group at M.I.T. Yes, he's old fashioned and a little ADD, but the world is not so grey and depressing with him in it.

His middle name must be fun. And its the same with Kirsten Dirksen, the lady who films all these tiny houses and other planet saving type stuff.
We may not all be extreme green, but we all love fun.
